some muslims believe there are two types of jinn: one type being an evil jinn which is not of human origin, and the second being a component of a human being and what can sometimes be seen as the ghost of a person after death. Ghosts, then, are often described negatively, as natural deaths are not believed to be a reason for negative ghosts to exist. It is believed that people who are killed (and thus their lifetime abruptly being shortened), remain as negative ghosts with ill-intentions. It is believed the 'ifrit (or ghost) leaves the body at death, and either remains in the cemetery after a peaceful death, awaiting resurrection, or in the case of people who are killed (whose life ended abruptly), wander this earth where the person formerly lived.
